Summary

Kayla is joined by co-hosts of the podcast “The Mash-Up Americans”, Rebecca Lehrer and Amy S. Choi, to discuss grief and how it’s time to accept it as a part of living. Grief comes in all shapes and forms - not just in death - but they cover different ways in which communities deal, how they discuss it within their families, and studies that show how trauma literally changes our DNA.

people and real lives. And maybe you're one of them. Maybe someone you know is experiencing
